Hi Fellow builders

Just looking for a few tips on how best to neatly join the fore and aft deck pieces to a fibreglass/poly hull.

I want to do a perfect job and forsee a few problems….

(1) the Hull will obiosuly need ‘gathering’ in to meet the correct shape of the deck.

(2) The middle section of the boat will then still need not to Bow out…needs to be a nice progressive side on the ship.

(3) how to fix it onto the deck as obviously impossible to clamp etc whilst glue sets.

(4)How to avoid external and internal for that matter glue runs.

Sorry to be dense…but dont want to be a bodger. I have searched but couldnt find anything.

Many thanks
GARY
